bow to the bus

The sign of bus lovers: one peering into a show bus with super attention and the other going onto hands and knees to get a better look. How I wish this bus had followed us home, I just know I could keep it...

This was a star bus at Wheels and Wings 2006. Obviously it attracted tons of attention from our party.

The van behind what is not my Karmann Ghia, unfortunately. We were the tail end of the VW caravan to Wheels and Wings 2006 (brought to you by Motorbooks.com!) in Osceola Wisconsin.

that's the van, sailing the "2.6-mile trip over crystalline waters to the Town of LaPointe, on Madeline's southern shore." (quote courtesy the madeline island chamber of commerce, ferry ride courtesy madferry.) i should note that light is coming from the ferry, and not from some hopped up mod i managed for that little stock interior light in the westy. also note there's a handy life-preserver nearby.

even if we didn't sleep in it that weekend, it certainly was a comfortable transporter.
